ou used range instead of target for your select but I would write it like this
Or even simpler by
‘dim AType As Range
‘set AType = Range("S8:AL8")
If Not Intersect(Target,range(“s8:al8”) is nothing then
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Dim SAType As Range
Set SAType = Range("S8:AL8")
If Not Intersect(Target, SAType) Is Nothing Then
On Error Resume Next
Select Case LCase(Target)'
Case "amount"
Target.Offset(1, 0).Resize(296).Style = "Comma"
Case "percent"
Target.Offset(1, 0).Resize(266).NumberFormat = "0.000000%"
End Select
End If
End Sub

Subject: $$Excel-Macros$$ Problem with Format Change Upon Data Validation
Change Event
Hi -
I'm a little new to VBA but have managed to put together a macro that half
achieves its intended purpose.
Depending on what is chosen in a data validation cell (any cell in range S8 to
AL8), the macro is supposed to change the format of 296 cells below the data
validation cell:
a.. If "Amount" is chosen in the data validation cell, the format in cells
below should change to "Comma" style (i.e., 0.00). This works.
b.. If "Percent" is chosen in the data validation cell, the format in cells
below should change to "0.000000%". This doesn't work. I'm stumped since the
language looks right to me and no debugging error pops up. Any ideas?
The macro I have now is copied below. Any help you could provide would be
greatly appreciated.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Dim SAType As Range
Set SAType = Range("S8:AL8")
If Not Application.Intersect(Target, SAType) Is Nothing Then
On Error Resume Next
Select Case SAType
Case "Amount"
Target.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1:A296").Style = "Comma"
Case "Percent"
Target.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1:A296").NumberFormat =
"0.000000%"
End Select
End If
End Sub
